Dear Gentoo Community,

Nominations for the Gentoo Council 2015 / 2016 election have now started
at 00:00 UTC 2015/06/13 (Saturday) and will remain open for the next two
weeks until 23:59 UTC, 2015/06/26 (Friday).

All nominations must be sent to the gentoo-project mailing list. If you
were nominated and want to run, you have to accept your nomination on
the same mailing list.

Here are the rules:

    * Council elections generally happen once a year
    * The council is composed of seven elected members
    * Nominations are allowed from June 13th 00H00 UTC to June 26th
23H59 UTC
    * Only Gentoo developers may be nominated
    * Anyone can nominate (nominating yourself is OK)
    * Nominees must accept their nomination before voting begins
    * Voting is opened from June 28th 00H00 UTC to July 11th 23H59 UTC
      (there is one day of break between nominations and voting so the
infra team has time to set up everything)
    * Only Gentoo developers may vote
    * The list of Gentoo Developers is based on active membership
by June 12th, 2013 (the day before the election was opened)
    * Gentoo uses the Condorcet method of voting
    * Results should be published around July 13th

We're still working on the project pages, so the address for the page
listing all nominations will be posted later.

If you don't know what the Gentoo Council is, you can read about it on
